Mount Magnet Police Station fixed with temporary ply wood boards after 33yo man accused of rock-throwing

A man is accused of throwing rocks at the front entrance windows of Mt Magnet Police Station over the weekend, but the temporarily boarded-up facility remains open. Mount Magnet Police officer-in-charge Sgt Scott Davis alleged about 9.30pm on Saturday, a 33-year-old man was intoxicated at the front of the police station when he started launching rocks into the building. “We grabbed him out the front of the station when it was happening,” he said. Sgt Davis said the damage was “in the vicinity of $20,000”. The rocks caused the glass to the front entry of the building to shatter. The station on Richardson Street has fixed temporary plywood over the damage while they await repairs. Sgt Davis said a date for the repairs was not confirmed. The man has been charged with criminal damage and appeared in court on Sunday, and was released on bail. “We’re still open to the community as normal, despite our recent remodelling,” Sgt Davis posted to Twitter on Monday morning.
